6 2012 Aggregate Financial Results Cost Drivers Risk charges Profit charges Premium taxes Mandated benefits Commissions Cost Reducers Competition Risk adjustment Best-in-class networks/provider discounts Pricing approach Standardized designs Reduced admin/consulting costs 2012 RFP Summary 2013 Projected Self-Insured Gross Cost 2013 Corporate Exchange Gross Cost Difference $2,837,000,000 $2,804,000, % 5

7 2013 Enrollment Results and Risk Distribution The Tale of the Tape 42% of employees bought down to less expensive coverage and saved on payroll deductions 26% bought up to richer coverage than prior year (including many for whom the richer coverage had been previously unavailable) 32% of employees remained at comparable level What s covered, including preventive care, is the same across plan levels Under a true DC application the employer s cost does not vary based on plan level chosen fostering real consumerism Carrier A Carrier B Carrier C Carrier D Carrier E Carrier F Total Pro Forma Demographic Risk Adjustment 0.7% -2.2% -5.5% 2.5% 1.2% -1.4% 0.0% 6

8 Post-Enrollment Survey: Overall Enrollment Experience Consumers who agreed with the following statements: Total I like being able to choose my own carrier 93% I feel confident that I chose the health plan that offered the best value 79% The benefits enrollment process was easy for me to understand 76% I feel like the company tries very hard to make my benefits enrollment experience positive 76% I have a good understanding of how my employer and I share the cost of my medical insurance 75% 7

9 Employers Most Likely to Move to Corporate Exchange Have a compelling reason for change Aligned with monetizing their commitment in the form of a defined contribution Do not want to manage plan design and vendor relationships, but still wants to own wellness and population health Do not believe that plan design differentiates in Total Rewards Believes in competition as a way to drive efficiency and lower costs Are comfortable with employees accessing information and support from a third party 8
